The report shows Big Tech has used all the lobbying tricks in the book to water down the #AIAct.
Used shady groups to lobby on its behalf
Funded academics and think tanks
Pushed its agenda through a crucial expert group
Mobilized the US government to lobby the EU
The report documents more than a 1000 meetings between interest groups and member of the @EUparliament on the #AIAct
56% of those meetings were with industry while only 13% were with civil society.
